Volume 1 Never by a Sword Chapter 35 Gambling

After finishing [Dragon's Breath], Tu Shi opened his eyes and found that there was only a wisp of white smoke left in the furnace, which was obviously burned out.

Haiqing Zhenren waved his sleeves, and the smoke was completely extinguished: "The lotus seed essential oil of the white elephant water lily can help people to collect their minds, and naturally the Buddhism is meditative, which is very effective for you in the early stage of foundation building." It is normal to feel that the physique is enhanced, and the Buddha asks for a Vajra that is not bad and the body becomes a Buddha, and the white elephant water lily is a Buddhist thing, which can also nourish the flesh and bones. ”

"Wow, this thing must be precious, right?" It can increase the attribute value!

"You don't have to worry about it." Haiqing Zhenren looked at the top of Tu Shi's head: "The blood and qi on your head are entangled, you must have killed a life, didn't you go to subdue demons and eliminate demons?" ”

Tu Shihu wondered: "Master, did you follow me just now?" How do you know so clearly? ”

"......" Haiqing said: "Tell me in detail." ”

Tu Shi told Haiqing Zhenren about today's events, and after listening to it, he was really humane: "Even if poison ivy kills people, you still kill them with karma and karma, be careful that the future will be sad." Orthodox cultivators should be quiet and inactive, and do not ask about the world, instead of doing the way for heaven and subduing demons and eliminating demons. Whether good causes good or evil causes evil effects, it is better to be less polluted. ”

Big brother, I'm a player, how can I gain experience if I don't fight monsters? Do I need to upgrade?

Seeing that the apprentice couldn't listen, Haiqing Zhenren shook his head: "Okay, Yi Wuya and I accepted you as an apprentice just for a bet, you just do what you think." Remember, man is the primate of all things, and he should not be killed lightly. ”

"Don't worry, master, I only kill bad people, and it's a particularly bad kind!"

Leaving the right wing, Tu Shi went to the left wing to see Master Zuo by the way, but Master Zuo didn't know where to go, and it was more in line with the word "idle clouds and wild cranes" than the right master, and only a note was left on the table, which read, "Fight more, do more". Well, I guess this is the most outrageous teacher training ever.

Well, go ahead and farm poison ivy!

————————————————————————————————————

When going offline for dinner, Tu Shi happened to meet a customer complaining at the counter: "Why don't you have a holographic helmet here, I want to play "Qiankun"!" ”

The little sister didn't know what to do, so she could only look at the boss for help. Tu Shi shrugged: "The first batch of holographic helmets were produced by the "Qiankun" company, and they were bound to their personal identity when they were purchased, and there were public computers in the Internet café, how could this kind of thing be configured?" If you want to play, go to the official store and queue up to buy it. ”

"Didn't I just have something to do at the time, and I didn't get in line! The first helmets are all sold out! I asked the official, and they said that the next batch of holographic helmets may not arrive until the end of the open beta and the official operation. The customer sighed and looked very remorseful.

Tu Shi booked a holographic helmet a year before the news came out, and even the queue was waived, so he couldn't quite understand the customer's feelings: "The public beta is almost over!" It's okay, it's very difficult to upgrade this game, and if you enter the game late, you won't be left far behind. ”

"I hope so."

After the customer left, Xiaomei said to Tu Shi: "Boss, many people came to ask about the holographic helmet today!" Is "Qiankun" really that fun? Do you want to point a card? ”

"Ask for cards, but it's really fun, as long as you play it, you know that it's worth the money!" Speaking of this, Tu Shi was full of interest: "It's just a pioneer, an epoch-making initiative!" If you want to compare it, it's like a TV crossing from a black and white screen to a color screen, like an 8-bit flat game crossing over to a 3D game, just like a computer crossing from a standalone computer to the Internet! ”

He glanced inside the Internet café again, and business was in full swing. There are still a lot of customers, and most of them play games with a strong e-sports nature, after all, today, China has entered the era of "e-sports for all", and the video game industry has reached its peak. It may be an exaggeration to say that "national e-sports" is an exaggeration, but e-sports has indeed spawned professions including anchors, commentators, boosters, and companions, and has also boosted media, advertising, portals and other industries, which are full of countless business opportunities, which have supported the game industry to become the most important part of China's cultural industry. It is also evident that a relatively good e-sports game can attract a whole class of elementary school boys to play. Mobile game development companies are also aiming at business opportunities, and relaxed and leisurely development and social games are gradually disappearing, while competitive games are beginning to emerge - mobile games and e-sports are a bit unscientific! Not afraid that the player will smash the mobile phone screen when he is excited?

It is precisely looking at such a prosperous and prosperous world that Tu Shi feels that this kind of day will not be too long.

Games are very fast-changing commodities, and they have a direct connection to human passion. As long as a stand-alone game can occupy the top few download charts for three months, it can be called popular all over the world; An online game can have old players who have been playing for six years, and it can be called a long-lived online game. The core of the e-sports industry lies in e-sports, which is a confrontation between people, and the core of e-sports lies in games. After "CS" became popular for a long time, new types of FPS games such as "Team Fortress 2" and "Overwatch" appeared ("Plants vs. Zombies" also released "Garden Wars"); After the unprecedented success of "Dota 2" and "LOL", "Heroes of the Storm", which is also in the MOBO genre, also followed...... There are only a few good games, and it is difficult to be surpassed, and if manufacturers want to divide the market share, they must imitate and learn from it, rewrite the character modeling and story plot, and change the soup without changing the medicine. New players are constantly releasing new content, and old players are keeping up with the times, which seems to be healthy competition, but in fact it is accelerating the potential of the industry - when a game has no room for improvement and promotion, it will not have a loyal customer base forever, but will flourish and decline. The biggest cornerstone of the gaming industry is still the gamer, if a game is no longer popular, the esports industry related to it will lose its life, and esports players can only be forced to transform and play other games, and those who can't transform have to retire.

Speaking of the relationship between the e-sports industry and players, in fact, it doesn't have to be said to be very big and mysterious, from this small Internet café can be a glimpse of the leopard: there are many people in the Internet café who like to play a certain game, and they play this all day long, and nothing else, so that Tu Shi can see at a glance that the whole row of screens is almost the same game interface. So aren't these people very powerful? No, almost all of them are in the middle and low ranks, because they are not aware of it, they lack operation, and they also lack the calm mindset that esports players need most; They worship the god-level high play, but they have never had the opportunity to fight against the high play in this life, let alone defeat it. That's the irony, the biggest customers of esports games are players with low esports skills. This group of players is impetuous and irrational, enthusiasm comes and goes quickly, and they are prompted by the herd mentality to play the so-called "hottest game", and sooner or later they will abandon the game. Once there is a real day, the momentum will be unstoppable, like a bear market stock falling to the bottom, but no one will be trapped - playing a game is not an investment, and if you are gone, you will find the next one.

The time-traveling novel became popular, and then the writers all wrote time-traveling novels, and when the time-traveling was rotten, it was the turn of the online game novel to become popular, and then there was tomb robbery, torrential flow, and infinite flow...... It's the same with games, it's true with everything. The world is always changing, the weak follow the trend, and the strong create the trend. Perhaps it is precisely because of the discovery that the e-sports industry has reached the end of its game mode that game companies will innovate in hardware, even if they bear the cost of "benefit sharing", they must develop holographic helmets. "Qiankun" is just an application side, the holographic helmet brings a cross-era customer application experience, the prospect is very impressive, not only limited to the field of games, but also expanded a large part of multimedia technology, which can make film, television, radio, music and even literature enter a new era.

The next generation is not e-sports for all, but holographic for all! Holographic, holographic! No one will resist this new and wonderful experience!

Tu Shi kept thinking about it when he was eating, thinking of this, he threw his chopsticks, went back to his room to find the holographic helmet manual, and called the customer service according to the phone number above, and found that the second batch of holographic helmets sold after the original public beta was a production version, although the performance was reduced, but there was no need to bind personal identity, and it could be used on the public network. Tu Shi was suddenly moved, and wanted to order a helmet for every computer in the Internet café except for the counter, but this is just the beginning, "Qiankun" has high requirements for the configuration of the network and the computer, if you update all the hardware, the money he earned in the past few years will be put into it, I am afraid that even a boxed lunch in the next month or two will be too luxurious.

This is a big gamble, if the bet wins, he will not be eliminated by the times, and if the bet is lost, he will be eliminated immediately. This matter was so big that even he felt that it was difficult to decide, so he went online to have a private chat with Liu Dacai and express his thoughts.

Liu Hanshi: "Isn't the result very clear?" If you don't think 'hardware replacement' is feasible, how can you be in a dilemma now? ”

Tu Shi made an angry expression: "Damn, I also know that it is feasible, but how feasible is it?" ”

Liu Hanshi: "Do you expect me to tell me the exact probability of your success?" ”

Tu Shi: "Okay, you give an opinion, if you say you can do it, I will do it, if you say you can't do it, I will die and operate honestly from now on." ”

Liu Hanshi: "To tell you the truth, I think it's feasible. The prospect of holography is definitely not as simple as you think, it can also be extended to culture, education, scientific research, medical treatment, and even the military, and it will definitely change the world to a great extent. With so many game companies in many countries joining forces to develop holographic helmets, it is precisely because of the confidence in holographic technology, and you should also have confidence. ”

Tu Shi made a kissing expression: "It's enough to have your words!" I decided to give it a go! ”

Liu Han replied with a smiling expression.

Tu Shi called the customer service and placed an order, the customer service was taken aback, and after learning that Tu Shi was the owner of the Internet café, he asked Tu Shi to pay attention to the mailbox. About three minutes later, an official email arrived, stating that Qiankun was looking for a long-term partner, hoping that the operator of an Internet café would buy a mass-produced helmet to build momentum for the pre-marketing and promotion of Qiankun. Party B (Internet Cafe), as a special Internet café of "Qiankun", shall divide a certain share and a certain number of machines for "Qiankun" in the business premises, and sell point cards, activation codes and holographic helmets as Party A's ("Qiankun") sales outlets; Party A gives Party B a certain amount of cash back and sales commission, and provides completely free after-sales service including maintenance and trade-in, etc. According to the email, the mass-produced helmet is a model designed for Internet cafes to promote events.

Tu Shi and Liu Hanshi discussed, and Liu Hanshi said that this can save a lot of money and can be spent on air conditioners. Tu Shi asked: What does this have to do with air conditioning? Liu Hanshi said, as soon as the indoor temperature is hot, the player is sweating profusely, doesn't your common helmet stink, and you don't want to do the work of cleaning the helmet? Tu Shi thought about it too.

And so it was decided.
